Default Victorian Crown. Any Thoughts??

Happy New Year to All.

I do happen to have a silver Victorian Crown which I know nothing about!! Would appreciate having your thoughts and opinions.

Size: H 3.2cm x W 3.5cm (at widest part). Judging by the weight it feels hollow.

Thanking you in advance.

The 'silver' stamp looks in my experience like its from outside England, so possibly somewhere under British rule at the time India or Hong Kong as the place of origin? The little sweat hole would say hollow as you suggested, Gary

Cool Victorian Crown

I had one of these around somewhere and the loops E-W had rings, possibly to fit on a chain. These may have been for civil regalia such as a mayors chain of office or masonic.

If anyone can tell me for definite I would be grateful.

Agree with Irish Horse, typical crown badge worn on Orange Order collarette.
